As 20 members of Cymdeithas yr Iaith picketed the Carmarthen M&S store today over its lack of Welsh during the rebranding, a Cymdeithas member introduced himself as "Mark Spencer" and, dressed in an M&S suit and bowler hat proceeded to tell shoppers through a PA system that "his" company could not be bothered with "petty" concerns such as the Welsh 

Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg has welcomed Powys Council education chief’s recommendation to keep Ysgol Carno open as part of her school reorganisation plans in the county.

More than 100 people turned out over the weekend in a joint protest between Cymdeithas yr Iaith and Penybanc residents opposing the development of 289 houses, activists heard speakers from the local action group and Cymdedeithas yr Iaith and discussed the next steps of their campaign in the county. There is strong local and county-wide opposition to the development because of the community and the Welsh language impact it would have in Carmarthenshire. Speaking in the protest Joy Davies of Grŵp Gweithredu Penbanc Action Group said:

Today (Saturday 13th April) members of Cymdeithas yr Iaith have raised a banner to declare their opposition to a controversial housing development in Penybanc near Ammanford. The banner, which states “Nid yw Sir Gâr ar Werth” ("Carmarthenshire is not for sale"), was raised at the entrance to the site of the proposed development which language campaigners and local people claim will undermine the Welsh-speaking community.
